Question

Which of the following is NOT a required characteristic of an algorithm?

Answer 1

• The algorithm doesn't stop in a finite number of times.
• The algorithm doesn't display the output.
• The algorithm obtains the input but doesn't apply it .
• The algorithm doesn't precisely state the steps of execution.

Answer 2

Answer: Algorithms must terminate after a finite number of steps.An algorithm should not be infinite and always terminate after definite number of steps. There is no point in developing an algorithm which is infinite as it will be useless for us.

Step-by-step explanation:

The algorithm doesn't stop in a finite number of times.

The algorithm doesn't display the output.

The algorithm obtains the input but doesn't apply it .

The algorithm doesn't precisely state the steps of execution.
